Dodgers reel in the Marlins with Clayton Kershaw on the mound today on an early game on Getaway day. I am so glad that for a change the Dodgers played early today as the schedule has not been nice to them on getaway days.

Kershaw pitched eight scoreless innings striking out six. Kershaw improved his record to 13-7 and lowered his ERA to 1.72! Kershaw also lined a single to left field to bring in Yasiel Puig for the first run.

El barbudo de Brian Wilson made his Dodger debut in the ninth inning.

Funny picture from Mike Scioscia Tragic Illness blog. I like the barba Azul.

With the Dodgers win and the D’Backs loss, the Dodgers magic number is

Yesterday’s Dodgers loss to the Cardinals was frustrating. After Kershaw was leading 2-0, he ended up giving up 8 runs :-(

BUT this morning I woke up to the news that the Dodgers had acquired Hanley Ramirez and Lefty reliever Randy Choate from the Marlins :-)

Dodgers sent pitcher Nathan Eovaldi and minor leaguer Scott McCough. Eovaldi had tough luck with the Dodgers. He should have a better record had he gotten some run support. good luck Eovaldi! Pitcher McCough was at Rancho. Good luck McCough.

The Dodgers salvaged one game from the three game series with the Marlins and now we start a four game series with St. Louis.

Saturday night, our closer Jonathan Broxton picked up his 7th win! Broxton has the 3rd most wins in the Team! Casey Blake delivered a single in the 9th inning to give the Dodgers their 10th walkoff this year!!. The team had 8 last year

Sunday, Jason Schmidt did not fair well. an error by Furcal did not help and Weaver did not have it. I was so rooting for Schmidt to do better. I believe that Joe Torre will give Schmidt one more start and if he does not do well, that will be it for Schmidt.

Sunday when I got to my seat, there was a nice couple holding a baby and being interviewed by a local TV station next to my seats. I told them to stay there as I jumped over and gave them room for their interview. I was curious when I saw their baby girl with a pink bib and pink hat reading “30 ballparks and a baby.” Baby Sophia is so adorable!! as you can see in the picture below.

I missed getting Judy. Isn’t baby Sofia adorable?

Look at baby Sofia’s bracelets.

You can check their website at www.30ballparksandababy.com. Buena suerte Judy, Roberto and Sofia! It was a big pleasure meeting the three of you. God bless you and keep the three of you safe!

My Dodgers are at St Louis for a four game series. I was in St Louis a few years back when the Dodgers lost all four games BUT this is a much improved team so Go Dodgers!

I am going to check if any of my good friends that are big Cardinal fans in this picture are going to any of the games. I know Linda and I wish we were back in St Louis this week so that we can improve on that 0-4 record.

I just found out my friend Amy from ITD will be going to tomorrow’s game.

I was worry about the trip to Philadelphia. How would my Dodgers do? Can they win consistently without Manny? Would James Loney and Russell Martin start picking up the pace? Well, they did!. James Loney hit two homeruns in Philadelphia. Russell started hitting better. Casey Blake hit his 7th home run. Not bad for a guy hitting 8! Wolf “El Lobo” got his win against his old team. Billz has been pitching lights out although Jonathan Broxton could not save the win for him. Jonathan got the cheap win. I wish there was a way for Billz who only allowed 3 hits and 1 run in 7 innings to get the win but those are the rules.

On to Florida to play at ::looks for the new name of the stadium: Land Shark Stadium. what is that story behind that name? The times for the 3 game series are: Friday 4:10 P.T., Saturday 3: P.T., Sunday 10:10 P.T.

At first I was “why the 3: P.T time? I went back to the Dodgers scheduled and it says

@ FLA

Broadcast joined in progress

What is up with that?????????

Well, I learned that Saturday afternoons have been FOX’s exclusive territory for years – there’s a national blackout between the hours of 1pm and 4pm western time. If any team wanted to start a game in the blackout period, they’d be unable to broadcast the game until the blackout ended -

So Saturday we start watching the game in what? the 4th inning? Oh and the reason for the early start? A concert of some sort. Thanks a lot Marlins.
